It’s All an Illusion
You never really know what’s going on in someone else’s life until you walk in their shoes. They might appear to be the funny guy at school, but they could be going through some deep, troubling stuff at home. And the cool guy? He’s probably overcompensating for feeling inadequate about something that nobody knows about.
But our buddy Mark here doesn’t have to be the cool guy to feel inadequate. All he has to do is be himself, and just like that, he knows he suffers from crippling inadequacy. We hope you get that problem fixed, Mark, whatever it is. As for your lack of coolness, nothing can repair that.
